Question:
Several questions regarding the ruling on the Basmalah, and what if one forgets it during wudu?
Answer:
There is no authentic hadith established regarding the Basmalah in wudu; there is no authentic hadith established regarding it. Therefore, the scholars recommended it, based on the hadith:Sunan Ibn Majah 1894Da'if (Darussalam) "Bismillah, so it is cut off, meaning its blessing is severed." As for the hadith: Sunan Abi Dawud 102Sahih Maqtu' (Al-Albani), this is a hadith that the scholars weakened. Some of them exercised caution and said that it is obligatory with the remembrance and drops with forgetfulness because of this hadith, but this hadith is weak by the consensus of the scholars, and no argument is established by it.
